Oils, fats, thinners, paints, parts cleaning stuff - keep them out of the tank.

Our PO had some morons working on the place, if there are faults below the ground, local septic pumpers may have noted them, as well as the location of the tank access hatches. Ask if you can see prior pumping and particularly, repair invoices very illuminating. Getting the history may help you save time and money, locating components.
Our po had a sprinkler system put in and the retard running the ditch *****, cut the top of the septic output elbow off and bandaided it with perforated pipe and a plastic trash bag - gee, wonder why it leaked and the county nailed us.
The po had the sprinkler guys drunk brother run the drain line from the new mother in law so low, below the house main line, he had to depress the main line to intercept the new input, poop does not like to flow uphill. This was noted on a pumping report.
Doing a little digging to investigate our leakage, we found the feckless brothers that had done the above sterling plumbing, brought in their criminally insane cousin to plumb in a downspout drain system, which collected gutter water from 2500 square feet of roof and he ran the perforated pipe system out over the leach field.

As has been pointed out, it is wise, (sorry Wayne), to have a low pressure cut off switch installed, so if the water level in the well is low, drought, or a pipe breaks, emptying the well, the pump does not run continuously and burn up. Don’t ask how I know ;-)

Local well guys usually have a good idea of what might need to be filtered out and what it might cost to have installed.
Ask your realtor, or neighbors who does good work and knows the area.

Do not use Feckless Septic and plumbing
